Yes this happens only once.

I know the wrapper thing seems not correct, but I did not have this issue
until I set the wrappers up. Yes the wrappers are correct and are
installed and configured the same on over 500 machines.

Anyway I have a work around for this for now which basiclly is disabling
it. Now when one reboots and does login/logout I do not get any alerts.

I know this is a petty issue, but just wanted see others say.
If anybody comes up with why this happens or different view on this
that would be great.

Thanks.
